While a theological student preparing for
the in mistry, I felt Inot lid, of course, to bring,
stray lambs into the lold whenever opporm

puzzling were the impediments: epcotpf :

costed me. I 1 is head was a Vandyke ; and
in the prominent and noble, Lilt rather
careworn features, there was all the dignity
of middle age, curiously blended with an air
of youth and vigor, imparted by the black
hair and eyes.
"If I mistake not, sir, I address a gentle
man belonging to the clerical profession."
" I am studying for the ministry, sir," said
"Might I ask of you, sir, the lavor to

" Air, that would depend upon the

• "Oh, I want a reel sermon—firstly, sec

the heart and bring down the house. You

" Hi! You never heard Miss Neville as
Pauline to my Claude Melnot.le 7"
'• No, sir."
"Carne in, and let me show you her like
ness. I'm painting it for an A. No. 1 niam
moth poster."
Mentally referring this last expression to
sonic gentleman admirer of Miss Neville's,
of large dimensions and high social position,
I followed into the studio. Over the door
was a tin sign, with " Professor Courtenay"
in gilt letters. Pots and tin cups of cheap
paint, all streaked down the sides, red, yel
low, and blue, stood here and there on the
thready, long unswept carpet. There were
halt-finished play-tpuse bills on large frames
with captiva g p grammes in bright cal
ors ; and tliCwalls were hung all over with
the worst.tttSle and crudest manner ; back
grounds of a sickening pink green, waxy
pink hands, mouths of plain vermillion, eyes
,-bristling with blue black lashes, with whites
of nearly pure kremlitz, rounded off with a
thought of lampblack at the Iymphs.
Still, there was such surpassing accuracy
of drawing, evident likeness and individualb

" Is he your son 7" I asked, supposing he
meant the prompter boy. "
" Son ! No, sir; I mean Oliver, the child

I wouldn't trust Macready himself with that

would find it difficult to excuse you, Do

"Chu:eh 'I "An I have not forgotten

"Then. sir,'' I replied, austerely, "I don't

impropriety of your request than by, in a
manner, granting it "
Thereon f deivered what I considered a
very felicitous extempore address on the
wickedness and danger of a vagrant cburse
of life.
'l'hough my discourse did not for a ino
ment interrupt his paiming, the professor
seemed profoundly impressed. His noble
and expressive features settled into a calm
and dignified repose.
"Attend our church next Sunday. You
shall have a seat in my (“vn pew, and an
portunity at mice of hearing something in
your own lion , the eloquence of Dr. A----,
and of learning the high import and true
hearing, of a religous discourse."

"Oh, its my fancy bull dog I'm talking

the girls, women, backsliders, burning
brands, cast-a ways, and all the rest of 'em.
I drew tears from the Reverend Jabez
Speakes to such an extent that I had to lend
him my handkerchief, forgetting that it had a
print of Epsom races on it. 1 thought Bony
Bill, who was setting behind me, would die
a laughing. But there was no laughing iu
me. I was dead in earnest. I went into a
regular course of study; took to doing good,
gave money to every beggar I met, attended
meeting strictly, and was the happiest fel
low in the would."
"And may 1 ask what diverted you from
a path so agreeable ?"
"Could't stand the moral ecstasy, sir. It
was too touch for my mental organization.
I was so ex quis itely happy in the paths of
virtue that everthing seemed in a luminous.
colored mist, just as if I had been in the
raibow at Niagara Falls, and things going
hum a ruin rum all around me."
"I think you mistake more excitement
for cahn.rational conviction."
"No sir-r; I've argued it all out with
myself. I was just as cilia and as much in
earnest as you are now. I've read all your
philosophers, Locke, Leibnitz, Swedenborg,
Cuzzen, and all of 'em. I know what's ob
jective and subjective, a priori and apes
(eriori. 'Phis brush is objective, outside.
It's a confounded old stump.. That's wits t.
think about it inside, and that's subjective.
Now, philosophers say that happiness is the
chiul end Of all our actions They assume
that to be a universally valid a prioriori
cognition. But it isn't so in my case. I
can't stand pure happiness."
This grave denial of my minor premises
completely baffled me. In deApair of con
vincing Pro:essor Courteliay that religion
ought to lie the end of al his actions, I left
him, without any further attempt at his con
version.
A SAVAGE COMBAT.
A FIGHT BETWEEN A CALIFORNIA BULL
AND A GRIZZLY BEAR
A fine young bull had descended to the
bed of the creek in search of a water hole.
While pushing his way through the
bushes, he was suddenly attacked by a
grizzly bear. 'll7e struggle was terrific.
I could see the tops of the bushes sway
violently to and fro, and hear the heavy
crash of,driftwood as the two powerful
animals writhed in the fierce embrace.—
A cloud of dust rose from the Spot. It
was not distapt over a hundred yards from
the tree in which I lead taken refugoz. , --
Scarcely two minutes elapsed before the
bull broke through the bushes. his head
was covered with blood, and grctA,t_flakes
of
flesh_ hung from his. fore shout ders,..But
insteadOf showing any signs of defeat the
seemed „literally to glow with defiant -rage.
Instinct had prompted him to seek an
open space. A more. splendid specimen
of an. animal I never saw—lithe and wiry,
yet wonderfully massive about the shout
ders, combining the". rarest qualities. _of.
strength and . Aynithetry. 'For a moment
ho stood glaring at the bushes, his nostrils
distended, and his whole form "fired. and
rigid.: , But 9earcely . bad,.l time to glance
at him, when a huge bear, the largest-and
CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1862.
most, formidable I ever saw in their wild
state, broke through the opening.
A trial of brute force that baffles de
scription now ensued. Bally as I had
been treated by my cattle, my sympathies
were with the bull, which seemed to mo
'to be much the nobler animal of the two.
Ile did not wait to meet the charge, but
lowering his head, boldly rushed upon his
savage adversary. The grizzly was active
and wary. No sooner had he got within
reach of the bull's horns, than he seized
them in his powerful grasp, keeping his
head t.o•the ground by strength and the
weight of his body, while he bit at the
nose with his teeth, and raked strips of,
flesh from his shoulders with his paws.
The animals must have been of nearly
equal weight On the one side, there
was the advantage of superior agility and .
two weapons—the elaws and teeth ; but
' on the other, greater power of endurance
and more inflexible courage. The posi-'
tion thus assumed was maintained for
some time—the bull struggling despera
tely to free his head, while the blood
streamed from his nostrils—and the bear
straining every muscle to drag him to the
ground. No ad van tage seemed to be gain
ed on either side. The result of the bat
tle evidently depended on the merest ac
cident.
.AS if -by-mutual consent, each gradu
ally ceaSed, struggling to regain his breath,
and as much as five minutes must have
elapsed while they were locked in this
motionless but 'terrible embrace. Sud
denly the bull, by one desperate effort,
wrenched his heati from the -grasp of his
adversary, and retreated a few steps. The
bear stood up to receive him. I now
watched with breathless interest, for It
vas evident that each animal had staked
his life upon the conflict. Ihe cattle
upon the surrounding plain had .croWded
in, and stood moaning and bellowing
around the combatants, but, as if with-
held by terror, none seemed to interfere.
Rendered furious by his wounds, the bull
now gathered up all his energies; and
charged with such impetuous force, that
the bear, despite the must terrific blows
with his paws, rolled over in the. dust,
vainly struggling to defend himself. The
lunges and thrusts of the former were
perfectly furious. At length, by a sudden
and well-directed blow of the head, he got
one of his horns under the bear's belly,
and gave it a rip that brought out a clot
ted mass of entrails. It t a apparent that,
the battle must soon end. Both were
grieviously wounded, and neither could
hold out much longer. The ground was
torn up and covered with blood for some
distance around, and the_pantinzof the
'Struggling &Caine each moment
heavier and (pricker. Maimed and gory,
they fought with-the certMaty of :han
dle -bear- rolling-over-und-overi-vainly
trying to avoid the fatal burns of his ad
versary—the bull ripping and thrusting
and tearing with irresistble ferocity.
At last, as if determined to end the
conflict, the bull drew back, lowered his
head, and made one tremendous charge;
but, blinded by the blood that trickled
down his forehead, he missed his mark
and rolled headlong on, ground. In
an instant the bear whirled and was upon
him thoroughly invigorated by the pros
pect of speedy victory; he tore the flesh
in huge masses from the ribs of his pros
trate foe.
The two rolled over and over in the
terrible death struggle; nothing was now
to be seen save a heaviyg, gory mass,
dimly perceptible through the dust. A
few minutes would have terminated the
bloody strife so far as my faiiorite was
conee'rned, when to my astonishment I
saw the bear relax his efforts, roll over
from the body of his prostrate foe, and
drag himself feebly a few yards from the
spot. 11 is entrails burst entirely through
the wound in his belly. The nest mo
ment the bull was up, erect and fierce as
ever. Shaking the blood from his .eyes,
he looked around, and seeing the reeking
mass before him, lowered his head for the
Anal and most desperate struggle that en
sued, both animals seeming animated by
supernatural strength.
The grizzly struck out wildly, but with
such destructive energy that the bull,
upon drawing his head away, presented a
horrible aid ghastly spectacle; his ton
gue, a mangled mass of shreds, hanging
from his mouth, his eye's torn completely,
from their sockets, and his face stripped
to the bone. On the other hand, the bear
was completely open, and' writhing in his
last agonies. Here it was that indomit
able con age prevailed; for, blinded and
maimed as he was, the bull, after a mo
mentary pause to regain his wind, dashed
wildly at his adversary again, determined
to be victorious even in death: A terrific
roar escaped from the dying grizzly.—
With a last frantic effort he sought to
make his escape; scrambling over and over
in the dust, but his strength was gone.—
A few more thrusts from the savage vie,
tor, and he lay stretched upon the sand,
his muscles quivering convulsively, his
huge body a'resistless mass. A clutch

in the throat, and he was dead. •.

The :Indian Summer
. This beautiful, almost fairy season, ;is
nigh at hand. It sometimes 'boozing in .
Oetober,...though. we believO it, is". not-re
garde&,oo.genuine' and orthodox, if it ap
pear befOre I4ovetziber. For ourselves,
we are glad to see it at 'any' time:. Why
called'" Indian Summer you ,
The only reason we , have :heard,_ of,. was,
that.,during,this period tip': Indians' aro
accustomed to gather Oleic-stores of corn
and rice and nuts for the Winter,
Mr. Morriam,.anii everybody /else who
owns a thermometer, has observed that
:from the end of August to the end of
September, there is a gradual and con
stant diminution of heat; but that about
the middle of October, a change occurs,
and for two weeks or More, there is with
slight exceptions, an increase of daily
heat. This is not peculiar to our conti
nent. In northern Europe and Asia,
i there is a period known as " the second
summer," the "afterheat," setting in just
!before the beginning of Winter. But in
America, this period is marked by o;e
feature almost unknown elsewhere. We
refer to the brilliant changes of the fuli
age of trees. It would seem as if Nature
were trying to conceal the decay which
is stealing upon her, by the increased
gorgeousness of her apparel, and the
Spring-like youthfulness of her voice and
air. But let us not. slander her. ,
This change in the hues of vegetation
is indeed perceptible somewhat in Sep
tember. it begins, in a small way, be
fore frost ; but the most sudden and bril
liant colorings are produced by icy Jack.
Sometimes, he does his work at odd spells
throughout October and the first of No
vember; sometimes he does the most of
it.in a single night. And what a grand
exhibition he makes ! At his touch, the
oak turns a rich brown, or reddish pur
ple,; -the birch and larch are yellow ;-the
tulip-tree a, rich lemon color; the pepe
ridge fircy scarlet; the maples nearly
every tint from green to gold and crim
son. and scatlet and pink ; the evergreens
retain their original green and set off the
other hues in fine contrast..
One gets a fine display, if he command
the view-of a range of wooded hills as
cending by gentle elopes, he then sees
the tops of the trees, in all colors, and fa
ding off into the distance. And the cf
feet is still further hightened if -the sun
is declining behind the hills. The obliqu
rays glancing through the many tinted
leaves, give them increased brilliancy is
often subdued by a haze of blue vapor
and smoke.
Attempts have been made to represent
the phases of Indian Summer on canvass,
but as yet with only partial success ; no
coloring, and no verbal description can
place it before the eyes of one who has
not beheld it. And, what adds to the
charm of this season, the temperature of
the air beComes milder than it had been
- for several weeks ; on some days, it is
i)almy and still and 'voluptuously soft, be
yond anything in the sweetest day of
June. These aro the days for enjoyment,
perhaps beyond any days of the round
year. As to a scientific explanation of

"'.he melancholy days have come, the
saddest of the year," and Autumn in all
its rare magnificence is upon us once
again, The verdant coloring of the wood
lands is changed, and now is exhibited
the variegated " purple, green and gold,"
which lend to the forests of America that
peculiar beauty which is seen in no other
land. " Sad, mellow and melancholy,"
as is the season, yet there is that softened
deliciousness and mellowed loveliness
about it, that leads the soul from "
tune up to Nature's God," and brings the
" heart attuned aright," to worship and
adore the Great Architect of the Dui-
verse. To some the season is only indic
ative of the fading glories of the year ) and
of the evanescent and transitory nature
of their lives„ whilst to others it is a sea
son wlren the whole heart leaps to meet
its beauties, and make such say that they
could live forever with its " golden glo
ries." Decay is marked upon its fore
head, but still we love the Autumn sea
son—" the saddest of the year.".

No painter can gild or illustrate the very

admiring the " ,olden pomp" of the Au

leads us instinctively to love and admire
the " melancholy days" .of the Autumn
season. When it shall have passed away,
its requiem will be sung by the howling

The Two Brothers
The Count de Ligniville and the Count
.de Autricourt twins, descended from an
ancient family in Lorraine, resembled each
other so much that when they put on the
same dress—which they did now and then
for amusement—their servants could not
distinguish the one from the other.—
Their voice and deportment were the same
and these marks of resemblance were so
perfect that they often threw their friends,
and even their wives, into the greatest
embarrassment. Being both captains of
light horse, the on would put himself'
at the head of the other's squadron, with
out the officers suspecting the change.—
Count de Autricourt having committed
some crime, the Count de Ligniville nev
er suffered his brother to go out without
accompanying him; and-the fear of seiz
ing the innocent instead of the guilty
rendered the orders to arrest the former
of no avail. One day the .Count de Lig
niville sent for a barber, and having suf
fered him to shave one-half of his beard,
he pretended to have occasion to go into
the next apartment, and put his night
gown upon his brother, who was conceal
,
, ed there, and tucking the cloth which he
had about his neck under his chin, made
him sit, down in the place which he had
just quitted. The barber immediately re
sumed his 'operation, and . was proceeding
to finish what he had begun, as he sup
posed ; but to his astonishment he found
that a now beard had sprung up ! Not
doubting that the person under his hands
was the,devil, he roared out with terror,
and sank down in a swoon on
. the floor.
While they were, endeavoring to callhim
to life, Count de Ligniville. who was
half-shaved, returned to his former place.
This was a new cause of surprise to the
poor barber, who now is agined that all
her had stin was a dream, and he could
not be convince. of the truth until he
had seen the two brothers together. The
sympathy that existed bettvcen the two
brothers was no less singular than their
resemblance. If one fell sick, the zither
was indisposed also ; if one received a
wound, the other felt pain, and this was
the case with every mist4tune that beffl
them ; so on this account they watched
over each other's conduct with the great
est care and attention. But what is still
more astonishing., they both had often
the same dreams. The day that Count
de Autricourt was attacked- in France
by the fever of which he died, Count
de Ligniville was attacked by the same in
Bavaria, and was nearly sinking under it.
Harper's Ferry

a soldier's letter. The scenery here is

correct or adequate idea of the many and
diversified beauties of the place. One
must see, to appreciate, from the Mary

HOMESICKNESS.—To the question :
"Can 1 do anything for you my man ?"
asked patients by hospital visitors, the
answer, very often, is : "Can't you get me
leave of absence, I want to go home."
This conies from as brave and true•hearts
us ever beat steadily in battle—from men
who have undergone hardships and hun
ger and fatigue without a murmur—but
who find themselves prostrated by wounds
or by sickness—and whose thoughts now
turn toward loved ones at home. 'What
sick man, on a hard bed, in a room filled
with other sufferers, exposed to the gaze
of the curious, often experimented on by
on by youll"sawbones, ' and with a few
coveted delicacies, would not yearn for

by a beloved female hand, and for• the

A COLORED FALSTAFF
A Western correspondent on one of
the l‘lissisSippi gun-boats gives the fol
lowing account of a spicy conversatioti
with a philosophical colored man
"1 noticed upon the hurricane deck to
day an elderly darkie with a very philo
sophical and retrospective cast of counte
nance, squatted upon his bundle toasting
his shins against the chimney, and appa.
rently plunged into a state of profound
meditation. Finding - upon inquiry that
he belonged to the Ninth Illinois, , one of
the most gallantly behaved and heavily
losing regiments at the Fort Donelsou
battle, and part of which was aboard, I
began to interrogate him upon the sub
ject. His philosophy was so` much id
the Falstathan vein that I will.give his
views in his own words as near as my
memory serves me :
"Were you in the fight ?"
"Had a little taste of it, sa."
"Stood your ground, did you?"
"No, sa, I runs.."
"Run at the first fire, did you ?"
"Yes, sa, and would hab run Boons;
hab I knowd it war Comm."
"Why, that wasn't very creditable ter
your courage."
"]kit isn't in my line, sa—cookin's my
preceshuti." '
"Well, but have - yOu X° regard for your
reputation ?"
"Reputation's nuflin to me by de side
ob life."
"Do you consider your life worth more
than other,penple's
"It's worth more to me, en.''
" I . hen you must value it very highly?"
"Ves, sa, 1 does—more dan all dig
wuld—more dun a million ob dollars, sa,
for what would dat be wuth to a man wid
do brerout oh him ? Belfpreserbasban
am de fust law wid me." '"
"But why should you act upon a dif:
ferent rule from other wen ?"
"Because different men sets different
values upon dar lives—mine is in de mar
ket."
"But if you lost it, you would have the
satisfaction of knowing that you died fot
your country.,,
"What satisfaction would dat be to me
when de power of feelin' was gone ?"
"Then patriotism and honor are no&
ing to you l"
"Malin whatever, sa--.1 regard dem as
among de vanities."
"If our soldiers were like you, traitors
might have broken up the Government
without resistance,"
'Yes, sa, dar would hab been no help
for it 1 wouldn't put my life iu de scalp
'giust any Gobernment, Alex existed,
for no 1l obernment could replace do loss
to me."
"Do - you think any of your Company

killed ?"
"May he not, sa—a dead white man
ain't much to dose sojers, let alone . a dead
nigga—but I'd a ,Inissed myself, and dat
was de pint wid me."
It is safe to say that the dusky corpse
of that African will never darken the field
of carnage.
Influence of Sensible Women,
It is a wondurous advantage to a man
in every pursuit or avocation, to secure
an adviser in a sensible-woman. In wo
man there is at once a subtle delicacy of
tact, and a plain soundness of judgment,
which are rarely combined to an equal
degree in A woman, if she be
really your friend, will have e.nsitive re
gard for your character, honor and repu
tation. She will seldom counsel you to
do a shabby thing, for a woman friend
always desires to be proud of you. At
the same time, her constitutional timidity
makes her more cautious than your male
friend. She, therefore, seldom counsels
you to do an imprudent thing. By fe
male friendships, I mean pure friendships
—those in which there is no admixture
of the passion of love, except in the mar
ried state. A man's best friend is a wife
of good sense and good heart, whom ho
loves and who loves him—if he have that,
he need not seek elsewhere. But suppos
ing the man to be without such a help
mate, female friendship he must still have,
or his intellect will have many an un
heeded gap even in the strongest fence.
Better and safer, of course, such friend
ships where disparities of years or cir
cumstances put the idea of love out of the
question. Middle life has rarely this
advantage; youth and old ago have. We
may have female friendships with those
much older than ourselves. Moliere's
old housekeeper was a great help to his
genius; and Montaigue's philosophy takes
both a gentler and loftier character of
wisdom from the date in which he finds,
in Marie de Gourney, an adopted daugk-_
ter, " certainly beloved by me," says the
Horace of essayists, More than
paternal love, and involved in my soli
tude and retirement, as one of the best
parts of my being." Female friendship,
indeed, is to a man " prcesitlitia et dqes
decus"—bulwar4, sweetly ornament. of
his existence. To his mental culture it is
invaluable; without it all hii knowledge
of books will never give him knowledge
of the World.—Bidtver,
